Of Raja and bouncy tracks by Puneet Rajhans

Of Raja and bouncy tracks

Chief Minister Karunanidhi had this to say to set the record straight: "We are not guilty. Guilty are A Raja's predecessors and the prospective ministers who would be holding the telecom portfolio if ever Raja decides to demit ofice to attend to household chores. "
Karuna thundered given Raja's stature and his royal status Raja was never short of money/cash of different denominations (Rs, Pound and Dollar), the charge that has been levelled against him as his bank balance was healthy and his state of mental and physical health strong enough to not let him swindle the entire amount in one go. Even after he had stopped visiting a host of nations to take telecom deals to a new level, the invites from these nations never stopped coming to him given the invincibility tag he carried.
Raja won't go even if the entire council of ministers resign as the limited stationery he has at his disposal and the explanation he is being asked to furnish on his minimal role to the 2G episode, which is yet to be identified as far as the quantum goes. Try to understand the months and years it would take for Raja to put his side of the story on the scam that never existed when he came and is alleged to be at its peak when he is being asked to demit office. Provide him the necessary stationery and adequate workforce to help him draft an elaborate explanation to the scamsters who visited his ofice prior to his taking oath and the numbers that dwindled as he started visiting office regularly.

As Karuna tried to put an end to the spate of speculations on Raja's fate and Queen's elevation to the Manmohan Cabinet, he used the press conference to elaborate on the amount of work that needed to be done for his grandson's wedding. "I can't let my celebrations be any less than that took place at Rajnikant's place. I have yet to get in touch with tentwallahs, the meal provider is yet to be traced since the number of guests he was told to cater to at Rajni's place went beyond his wild expectations. Following his tryst at Rajni's place he disappeared in the wilds of the State to escape the possibility of being again asked to prepare meals for men women and babies whose numbers may never dwindle the entire wedding celebration night. THe wedding card is ready but is yet to be distributed since the entire party workers are camping in delhi to provide the muscular and moral support to Raja. So you presswallahas i seek your support in distributing the wedding cards and selling this line to Sultanat of Delhi that Raja won't demit office before 2014.

A little while later seeing the unrelenting stand of the Opposition, Karuna called another press conference and handed out an invitation to opposition leaders to join in his grandson's wedding celebrations by coming to Chennai. "Once the opposition leaders are here i would explain to them how much Raja could have made from the 2G episode and yet he settled for a measly cut/compensation. I would explain to the opposition leaders that this 2G can't be dismissed as a scam and let it retain its episode aura as the amount that has circulated around Raja is fairly and disappearing low."

The elaborate food followed by elaborate stay for these opposition leaders and their followers would be enough to clear the air and pave the way for Raja's elevation. Given the desire of Raja to play big and that too on the bouncy tracks, as the amount of coverage he has been showered from print and electronic media, the grandson's wedding would also be used as an occasion to reach a consensus as far as Presidential polls of 2012 are concerned. "We will see to it that from Mum Manmohan to Big G to Advantage Advani all give their consent to Raja's elevation to president's office."
Hearing this the press people disaapeared from Karuna's place fearing the structural changes that Rashtrapati Bhawan would be subjected to probably beginning with rooms being offered on rent on first come first seize basis.
